In Case You Haven't Seen/Heard It - Scott Weiland Tribute by Stone Temple Pilots

     As music lovers know (especially fans of Grunge), the music world had its cage rattled when the former front man of Stone Temple Pilots, Scott Weiland, died suddenly last December. The singer had been known for his past battles with inner demons, which often included drugs and other self-destructive vices. Still, many were shocked by the loss. Many musicians immediately took to social media or to covering STP songs at their concerts in memorial of the fallen rocker. However, Weiland's former band mates took things a step further for their memorial. The surviving members of STP teamed up with Rolling Stone to shoot an intimate listening session, where the trio is sitting at a studio mixing board and singling out portions of Weiland's vocals during the famous STP track "Atlanta". The video is definitely worth a watch, even as haunting as it is. Through the band's catharsis, they share some beauty that was often clouded by struggle for the late Scott Weiland. Though this video came out a little before Christmas, we wanted those who haven't seen/heard to get a chance to check out this gem. Legends die, but preserved examples of talent never do.
